Do you often disagree with your partner about how to parent? Do you feel like you’re doing most of the parenting and your partner has checked out?
When I first brought my son home I was an over protective mother – even when it can to his dad! I was constantly at my husband saying things like: “don’t hold him like that” Don’t throw him in the air – he’s just eaten”, “Don’t be so rough – he’s just a baby!”
Until my generally calm, fun husband said “OK it seems I can’t do anything right, everything has to be YOUR way, so just do it yourself!” Now that made me think and of course do some research about how mothers and fathers parent – and yes you guessed it – they parent differently!
Today on the show I talk to Charles Areni one of the authors of a fascinating book on this topic called “The other glass ceiling: fathers stepping up and mothers letting go”.
Listen in and have a laugh as well as learn strategies to make lasting changes that will support a more cohesive family.
